Hades II tops the list so hard, it even brought the previous game up with it!

I initially questioned whether something like Monster Hunter World (now that it’s been stripped of Denuvo) would also make sense for whatever they’re doing with it, and then I realized this might be in a convention setting, so maybe better to not run a demo of a game with an hour of setup (character creation + progressing far enough to save and quit)

“…the Holy Roman Empire.” (Quickly and quietly) “It’s actually Germany, but don’t worry about it”

Edit: to be clear, I was quoting Bill Wurtz

Remember when Facebook’s overarching company bought out Oculus? Well, some VR games seem to start out as exclusives on the “quest” headsets. (I know Facebook [the parent company] changed their name to “Meta”, but I refuse to acknowledge that)

I don’t have the tech-saavy for emulation, and I’ll still wait for console exclusives to come out on PC (unless we’re talking Nintendo exclusives I’m actually interested in). I’ve actively waited for Ghost Signal: A Stellaris Game to no longer be a Facebook exclusive, and now I’m doing the same for Out Of Scale.

In a roundabout way, you could argue both were factors.

Twitter’s echo chamber becoming cacophonous with spite and worse means less people visiting the site, and refusal to support the site would be a better look, but that pr move might be easier on the corporate wallet as well.

That being said, I question how that applies in this context. Corporate leadership doesn’t exactly strike me as trustworthy nor worthy of mercy, although that could be a lean toward cynicism on my part.

 

So, let’s say there’s a species of bacteria that is known to dwell in Greek yogurt. How long would it take before that species of yogurt-dweller only has modern descendants different enough to qualify as one or more new species?

Considering this and No Man’s Sky having to spend YEARS clawing back good will, I think the lesson here is “don’t make deals with AAA publishers”.

The way you used italics, I gotta ask, is excommunication coming from the Presbyterians unusual compared to other Christian groups?

…by coming back as a yurei to haunt the people who wronged you? I’m not following.

 

For example, why did zinc, of all things, start getting utilized by brain and prostate tissue in humans?

 

Just as an example, there were evidently reports during the 2007 Glasgow airport attack that someone attempting to subdue the assailant and assist police kicked said attacker in the testicles… but somehow managed to do so hard enough to injure one of their own foot tendons.

…I’m out of the loop, are sorcerers somehow less effective in social and/or combat encounters with specifically blue and bronze dragons?

“Oh, no, those powers require being the kid in that situation…”

 
 

spoilerSo it’s possible to quickhack the cops that try to ambush you during this quest. Part of me still want to physically Elmer-glue their kiroshis to TV screens and forcibly educate them on the difference between Raffen Shivs and Aldecaldos rather than kill them, but at least they’re easier for pure Netrunner builds to wipe.

 

A YouTube guide explaining how the feeding preference system for builds is a spectrum rather than a hard-and-fast rule (from CasualGeographic) claimed that most true herbivore builds rely on the “facultative herbivory” preference. One of the few examples of the “obligate herbivory” preference given in the video are sloths.

Is mandatory herbivory on the way out, meta-wise? (Given how city biomes seem to reward opportunism and smarts, I guess it would make sense)

 

Despite my attempts to be stealthy, I tend to be spotted at some point anyway

 

I put 20/20/20 into intelligence, technical, and body. Now I’m getting attribute points I could put either into cool or reflexes. Which of those last two would be more useful for a netrunner (especially one that relies quite heavily on Overclock, and may occasionally use tech or smart weapons)?

 

When a certain character in the game dies because they’re still loaded into the Net at the moment when someone disconnects the jack, it kinda reminds me of IRL USB devices, where failing to dismount/eject them on the computer before physically removing them can cause problems, especially for the USB device. It almost feels like bait for a dark joke.

What are some other touches of bizarre realism in the electronics of Cyberpunk?
